Sometimes you’ll be faced with some trickier platforming situations where you’ll need to time your powers to get to where you need to go. A yellow energy bar under your health bar depletes as you hold the left trigger, so you can’t freeze water indefinitely, but it regenerates quickly as soon as you let go. In this particular area, it will grant you access to wall run on ice to get to another platform. Using the left trigger at any time, all the water in the area will freeze for as long as you hold the button. One of the first powers that he’ll acquire is the ability to freeze water. The prince already had a solid skill set when it came to wielding his sword, but now, he can gain the ability to control the elements of nature. Next, we explored the sewers beneath the palace, which actually looked quite nice and sanitary with cascading waterfalls pouring out of several openings. This particular section of the demo was incredibly cinematic as the camera panned across the vast terrain to give you a sense of scale, and while we were fighting our way through the crowds, we could see the battle raging on in the background. When facing a decent-sized group, you can crowd surf and hop on the heads of your enemies, then dance out of the way. You’ll still be able to perform some stylish finishing moves, like vaulting over enemies to stab them in the back, and you also have the ability to kick opponents down to stun them, then finish them with a quick jab. You won’t be able to block anymore, so evasive maneuvers involve rolling and being quick on your feet. The flow of combat was just as smooth, but one of the big changes will have you facing larger groups of enemies, ranging from a small group of three to a big group of 50. The prince’s acrobatic movements looked very familiar as he shimmied carefully across narrow ledges and somersaulted effortlessly from one pole to the next. With the ongoing chaotic battle unfolding in the background, we quickly made our way down along the stone steps, leapt gracefully from one crumbling ledge to the next, and deftly darted along walls to join the fight. This besieged kingdom belongs to the prince’s older brother, whom the prince has decided to visit, but it seems that he has come at a bad time–or perhaps just at the right time. The game starts off with an impressive, sweeping view of a city that is under attack as we see scores of sword-wielding men fighting along the battlements and fortress grounds.
The Forgotten Sands will focus on just one of the prince’s many wild adventures and explains his drastic transformation from the once naive, cheerful young man in Sands of Time to the jaded, brooding character seen in Warrior Within. The story does take place in the Sands of Time universe, though, during the seven-year gap between the Sands of Time and Warrior Within.
